One big and one small are practicing love

After calming down, the first thing Zuo Kunmin thought of was the house Liu Xiaochen sold.

I contacted Sun Xinxin and learned that the new buyer of Liu Xiaochen's house had started to rebuild it. Zuo Kunmin hurriedly asked Sun Xinxin to give him the phone number of the landlord. After communicating, he asked the other party to stop the construction immediately and rush to Liu Xiaochen's hometown from Beijing.

This time, Zuo Kunmin drove himself and took Zuo Yan and Zuo Xu to Liu Xiaochen's hometown. Depart in the morning and arrive in the evening.

The black off-road vehicle parked in the open space at the entrance of the alley, and Sun Xinxin was waiting there with her mother. After meeting, they took Zuo Kunmin and his family to Liu Xiaochen's home.

It was still an old heavy wooden door. After pushing it open with a creak, you walked around the stone porch and turned a corner into the yard. The original clean and spacious cobblestone yard was now filled with cement, marble, bricks and other construction materials. A mess.

"Now, what has been changed here?" Zuo Kunmin asked Sun Xinxin impatiently.

Sun Xinxin raised her hand and pointed to the west and said: "It has just been under construction for a month. All the furniture in the west room and the west hall have been moved away and the layout has been demolished. It has not been completed yet. The east room and the east hall have not been changed yet."

Zuo Kunmin nodded and said, "Let's go to the east room first." As he said that, he took Zuo Yan's hand, carefully supported Zuo Yan, and found a space to settle among the stones, cement, steel pipes and other materials.

Sun Xinxin and her mother took care of Zuo Xu, and they carefully came to the east room together.

As soon as he entered the room, Zuo Kunmin looked around and saw that all the furnishings had not changed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"They said they haven't decided how to modify the room yet, so nothing has been touched. Xiaoxiao sold it to them with furniture. She took nothing with her except a few books left by Teacher Wang. ." Sun Xinxin took the initiative to explain.

"Book? What book?" Zuo Kunmin asked.

Sun Xinxin frowned, thought for a moment, and replied: "I didn't look at the details of what they were, but I know they are Buddhist scriptures with golden covers. There seemed to be more than a dozen books. First, I helped her collect these books. This year During the graduation season, my mother sent them all to Beijing."

"Where in Beijing?"

"Her school."

Zuo Kunmin nodded and said, "I understand, let's go, take me to see the West House."

Mother Sun took the initiative to take a step forward and said: "Mr. Zuo, don't let the children go, just let them rest here. There are many steel frames, ladders, glass and so on, which is a bit dangerous."

"Okay." After Zuo Kunmin responded, he turned to Zuo Yan and Zuo Xu and said, "You guys are here, let sister Xinxin take care of you."

After that, Mother Sun took Zuo Kunmin and headed to the west room.

I saw that the original white walls had been shoveled away and covered with golden dark flower wallpaper, the ground was washed with lime, half of the dark gray floor was paved, and some flooring and cement were left piled in the corner. The whole room was depressing and dark.

Then I looked at the west hall room one by one. The wall that had just been shoveled halfway revealed the cement inside. The east hall is filled with various furniture, all of which were originally from Liu Xiaochen's family. Fortunately, none of them were thrown away.

After reading it, Zuo Kunmin already had a plan in mind. Since the houses to the west have been destroyed, simply rebuild them. Find an architect you admire and redesign and decorate it according to his wishes. The east room still maintains its original appearance.

After inspecting the house, Zuo Kunmin met with the buyer again and asked the buyer to make an offer. Without any counter-offering or hesitation, he bought the yard back.

After the matter was settled, Zuo Kunmin and the children had dinner together at Sun Xinxin's house in the evening. Then Sun Xinxin took them around the village and told some stories about Liu Xiaochen or Teacher Wang's past at different places.

Next to the road they were walking on, there was a clear river with constant gurgling sounds and some children playing by the water.

"This river doesn't always have water. It only has water when it rains in the summer. So, whenever there is water in the river, we play here all day long. When I was about five or six years old, once, Xiaoxiao got wet three times a day. Her mother scolded her and said that if her shoes got wet again, she would not go home at night. As a result, Xiaoxiao still got her shoes wet, and she did not dare to go home. That was the first time she stayed at my house."

Listening, Zuo Kunmin raised his eyebrows and chuckled, saying, "Why is she so stubborn? Can't she wear sandals or go barefoot?"

"The shoes we wore when we were children were all cloth shoes made by our mother. No one was willing to buy shoes to wear. We also played in the water barefoot, but for some reason, our shoes always got wet."

Zuo Xu suddenly raised his hand and said, "Dad, I want to go play in the water."

Zuo Kunmin said easily: "Go and play with Yanyan, be careful not to fall."

"Teacher Zuo, we can sit on this small bridge and wait for Yanyan and Xiaoxu." Sun Xinxin pointed to a small bluestone bridge not far away.

They sat down on the stone bench facing each other and continued chatting.
